I have applied for the Bootloader unlocking permission and I got the confirmation in the same day.I am running a developer rom and My mi account is signed in both pc and Note 3. Cloud backup and Find device is also on. OEM unlock and USB debugging is also on. I went to developer option and tapped on MI UNLOCK STATUS and did ADD ACCOUNT AND DEVICE, it says that account and device is successfully bind. uSB drivers are also installed But when I try to unlock via MI UNLOCK TOOL, it always gets stuck at 99%, saying that ACCOUNT IS NOT BOUND TO THE DEVICE. Please advice.
Wait a couple of days Xiaomis servers need to update
After bind you have to wait 72 hours for the servers to update
Go to developer options lock status and press bind account wait 72 hours and try unlock again

First of all thankyou very much Xiaomi for this!!!
Recently Xiaomi has released update for MIUI8 v8.1 2.
You can download it from its official website.
You should be logged in with you mi account in your phone.
I have already unlocked my redmi note 3 with same account so i did have the unlock approval for same account.
So i am not sure whether this will work without unlock bootloader approval.
No harm in trying.....
I was in Global stable rom v8.0.5
Steps:
Download the latest recovery rom v8.1.2 from the official website.
Save it in your internal memory in downloaded_rom folder.
Open updater app.
Select update pakage from menu.
It will update your rom to 8.1.2.
Nothing will erase by this.. All your files and apps will be there after update.
Once phone booted.. Go check the rom version in settings and then in about.
If its v8.1.2 then go to additional settings then developer option.
There you will see Mi unlock status go in it.
It will show locked.
at bottom you will see a button add account to unlock.
Press it, it will associate your Mi account to unlock bootloader request.
Download mi unlock tool.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode.
Login to your account in mi unlock tool and click unlock.
And you have Unlocked your bootloader.
Good news is unlocking bootloader does not erase your internal memory nor it formats your phone.
Enjoy!!!!!
I noticed and tried this earlier also but unfortunately have to report that it did not work. It was worded so that it seemed you didn't need unlock permission but you do.
But unlocking bootloader is already easy and totally legal. Why someone want to do like this way, instead of unlocking by better, easier way and supported by xiaomi?

This is the xiaomi way, it's just that in the new miui there is a screen in developer options that shows your unlock status. In there is a button that pairs your phone with your xiaomi account and then says to download unlock tool to unlock.
I tried it and it doesn't work without unlock permission. It's just a link to the unlock tool. However I think you need to add your phone from here to your account for unlock to work the "normal" way.

Yes, you are right.
You need unlock permissions.
You need unlocktool
You need to bind the phone to the account with unlock permissions (via developer options is 1 way, you can also simply login to MI account via Accounts)
Not working linking account to device in Dev Options

I am unable to link my account in developer options . even i have recieved SMS 3 days before.
my bootloader unlock procee fail on 50 % . help me
I applied for unlocking bootloader and it was accepted. I logged via same account in MIFlashTool and in phone. When I try to unlock it just gets stuck @ 50% and an error pops up 'Current Account is Different from the Account Info on the Device Redmi/Mi'. I have disconnected my other mobiles from my main MI account. Debugging mode and OEM unlocking is ON. Needs to unlock bootloader to using custom ROMS( who doesn't!?)
Using Redmi Note 4 SD.
PS: Tried all the solutions in net, didnt worked.

Hey bud, wait few more days, dont try again and again youll get your device unlocked eventually.
That ''Account mis-matching error'' is being faced by everone who tried to unlock their bootloader after getting permissions from xiaomi. so, if you look closely there are multiple threads regarding unlockin bootloader. so, wait few more days, may be 5-7 days, then try unlocking your phone, it should work. :good::good:

Wait for a few days..like 4-5 days. Don't try to unlock during these days. Then unlock.
You are getting that error because Mi hasn't updated your permission status in the status.
Same thing happened with me.
And don't try unofficial unlocking methods.
UPDATE : Okay so i finally unlocked the bootloader finally. before the last try, i turned off the password/fingerprint lock and then it unlocked. everyone should try the same thing
I done every possible steps but nothing is happening! the bootloader unlock process always getting stuck at 99% and Account Bound error is coming on the PC and on the phone, "86012:*****" error showing on 'settings-additional settings-dev option-Mi Unlock status'.
I tried with 2 different Mi phone/account.
done with i.mi.com stuffs and find device, tried FlyVPN but there is no server of 'Shanghai"... etc!
Nothing is happeneing! I am a beta tester of MIUI 9 China, and see, i couldn't even unlock the bootloader yet! Wow! What a thing! Its been a week and so, still my bootloader is locked.
No help from Xiaomi.
I need a promising way to unlock. so help me.
See, I have unlocked three RN4 devices, none without the wait.
Had to wait 6-7 days for each one of them. There has been no luck for me in doing anything other than wait for 6-7 days after getting the permission.
But then, maybe something might work out for you.
The steps I tried or know of:
1. Being on the developer ROM is a must. Chances of unlocking bootloader from global stable MIUI are very slim.
2. Use old Mi Unlock tool. A quick google will land you there.
3. Don't change the accounts in the phone. You should be logged in with the account you got permission in.
4. Go to developer options and check "USB Debugging", "OEM Unlock" and one more option something sort of "USB Debugging Security".
5. Try to bind the account. It will yield a response with some code and Chinese text. Ignore it.
6. Use the original cable and use the ports on the back of the CPU.
7. Keep "Find my device" turned on. And log in to your account in your desktop and try locating your phone.
8. Now try unlocking.
I followed all the above steps I could find out from anywhere and I was able to do it.
In your case I do think you are either not in the developer build or you need to use the old Mi tool.

Why do you say, "and try 3 days later"? Am I to understand that MIUI won't unlock until a min of 72 hours AFTER they approve?
Thanks.

I had the same issue as OP. Solved when I flashed a week after I got the permission.
Idk, maybe they take time to update their servers even after they're given out the permissions.
For me, my Redmi note3 reaches 99% and fails.
I have latest unlocking tool, USB drivers installed, Device binded, permission granted on MI site on Monday, but as of Wednesday I am still unable to do anything.
Suggestions from Aniket Salunkhe and Qoejohn implemented but situation does not change.
I have though not removed fingerprints and cannot remove device unlock code, since company apps are installed on it.
Appreciate any suggestions folks!
If I am correct the mi unlock says current account can't unlock this device at 99℅ ,I was facing this too but it is xiaomi server bug check miui forum you cannot do anything the xiaomi devs are not going to fix it
Hi all
Kindly help i have mipad 4
after do update rom clover_images_V10.3.2.0.ODJCNXM_20190515.0000.00_8.1_cn_4388d99e5e using fastboot its been lock bootloader.
Found some error when try step unlock bootloader
When try login Mi Account
When try login Mi account it show error : "Couldnt check device security info"
But after do reset password & try login using mi account & new password it success login
Do activate developer option : set turn on OEM unlocking , USB debugging
When click menu Mi Unlock status, click add account and device : It will show pop up preparing add account and device but It didnt got any response. (try several time & waiting still no update)
I cant do unlock bootloader via MiUnlock tools because it needs add account verify at Mi Unlock status device
When try log out Mi Account
When click menu Mi Unlock status, click add account and device , it called Mi Account login but when i input with existing password it will show : "Couldnt check device security info" but if try reset password & login with new password it success. then It will show pop up preparing add account and device but It didnt got any response.
I cant do fastboot new rom because device is lock but i unable to unlocked bootloader.
Did you try to create a new Xiaomi account? Do a factory reset of your device?
